Fortress Moxrer, Dec. 4, 1864. ‘The propeller General Lyon, Captain Ward, trom the @avannad river Thursday, 1st inst., with 743 Union risoners, arrived this evening. The prisoners are in geod condition. A sergeant who was with them reports Sherman’s cav- @iry within six miles of Savannah on the 30th @f November, Savannah was being fortified ae Yapidily as possible, Every negro and every @art in the city was at work om the fortifications, Four fwaine loaded with rebel soldiers bad arrived on ibe Gulf Raiiroad. There was no report of disaster to any portion @f8berman’s forces, He sayé the railroad was cut just alter the train he came throuzh to Savannah on had aseed through. He came from Fiorence. ‘The Savannah Repudiican of November 30 contains no Qelegraphic news from any quarter, The following are ‘editorial items on the sftuation :— Reliable advices received yesterday indicate that Sher- ‘man bas made little or no proyress with the main body @ bw ormy during the last day or two, He is atill on Phe railroad some distarcs beyond Millen, amd apparentiy, replenishing bis commisssriat for the journey before Bim. His men and animals must be desperately jadod by thie time, and but little prepared for the trmistocome. We stil! believe that his invention is te reach the coast, if possible, by that route which pre Gents the least danger of a fizh!. There was no evemy Detween hore and Millen yesterday, aud although a party @f Sberman’s cavairy bad been near the lat everything remained untouched. Another fight is reported between Wheeler and Kil- Petrick on Monday, with the usual re ult. The latter ‘was decently thrashed, and driven back in the direction @f the infantry. Is is reliably reported that a force of about one @housand landed yesterday forenoon from tho Yankee at Boyd’s Landing, on Broad river, fm South Carolina, and somo eight mi'es dis teat from the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, A portion of this command approached the railroad later fm the day, but subsequently rotired. Preparation, be- Weved to be ample, has been made to moet them, should they attempt to cut the road, which it was Dolieved Shey would do Inst might. ‘Wo etill believe Sherman has no serious thought of en- @ocotering Savennah with his jaded columns, but will attompt to make his way to the covst by the most prao. Aicable route. He will find it difficult to strike one that Ras vo Hon in his path. Our military authorities, thongh, + we aro glad to seo, are acting op the sound principle that ‘Whe surest plan for keeping him away from the city is w make it imposeible for him to get there, Pursuant to a resoution of the General Assemb!y, Gov- @rnor Brown, before leaving Milledgeville, made a propo- sition to the convicts im the ponitentiary of a pardon if they would volunteor and prove thorageives good soldiers.

GENERAL HOWARD'S COLUMN. REPORTED CAPTURB OF MILLEN. [From the Riohmond Enquirer, Deo 1.) We believe it true that Sherman’s army has reached Milk-n, ams separated isto twe columns, ome moving ic- ward Savannaa river, and another turning back toward Augusia, Toe latter column aad movement is, without doubt, mionded as a feint to protect his roar from at- tack.

(Frem the Augusta Register, Nov. 27.) Figh'ing is reported to have taken place at Si om Priday between Wheeler's fercos and the enemy’s savalry. The enemy were driven back on their main body. The best reports we bave place the main portion of the enemy negr Sandersville, in Washington county. Sandersville, Ga., ie the seat of justice of Washington county, It is situated twenty. les east of Milledge. ville and the Oconee river, and fi les morte of the Georgia Contra) (Macon and Savannab) Railroad, It is thirteen miles west of Davisboro (station No. 10), to whick the opposing rebel forces, under General Wayne, are reperted to have retired after burning Oconee bridge. The movement of this foree to Sandersville from Milledgeviiie doubtless forced Wayne to retire, as the movement flanks Oconee britge.—Ep, Asay.) GENERAL sLOCUM’S COLUMN, THE ADVANOS OF SLOCUM’S COLUMN AT WARREN- TON, NOV. 267H. [From the Augusta Register, Nov. 27.) The news yesterday was very interesting. From up the Georgia road we learn that the enemy’s raidiig Parties had appreached very near, if not quit, to Warren- ton, Seeute report them as being pear that piace; but as fay as we can learn thoy wero in smal) parties. These Partwe are no doubt scouting or small raiding parties, We regard this appearance of the enemy as no indication of the presence of the main body, Such movements are, doubtless, iusended to feel our strength, and cover the Teal direction of their march, (Warrenton, Georgia, the potot at which General Slo- Cm’ advance was on the 26tb ultimo, is the seat of jus- tice of Warren county. It is thirty-five miles northeast of Milledgeville end forty southwest of Augusta, The pre. sence of this force at Warrenton indicates that our infan- try were in the region of Sparta, avd explaios why Slo- cum bad Jet the Georgia Siate Railrond at Madison for Eatonton, It 18 apparent that no junction was formed of the .wb columns under Howard and Sioeum, but that the latter ooly moved gouth to Eatonton, far enough to get upon the main road, leading east, The passage of t!

SHERMAN PREPARED TO MOVS BAST OR WEST, NORTH OR SOUTH. {From the Savannah Republican, Nov. 28.} ‘The invauing, or fleeing army of Sherman, from all accounts, is still in Middle Georgia, somewhere in the vicivity of the Yconee river, and has not yet advauced far enough to authorize any satisfactery opinion of its destination, Jt is stilt where it may march to Augusta, Savannah or Brunswick, er even turn tailand make tracks for Macm and Columbus, The latter cities are said to be well defended, in addition te their excellent location im a military point of view. <Aucusia is mow believed to be able to take care of herself, and if Sherman should take wemeey mea ——— tral Radroad, or even went of ft, be'will Bad’ dist is troubles bave just commenced, His conduct, at last accounts, indicated much hesitation and doubt regarding hws true policy. He was advancing very slowly and cautiously. Of our own forces we need only say that they are of the right stemp.and in the right place. At the proper Mme thoy will give afuli report of themsclves, and we shall be greatiy disappointed if it should mot turn out to be entirely satisfactory. A fight was expected between Wheelor aud Kilpatrick yesterday, and our authorities seemed quite confident of afavorable result, If we can eny destroy Sherman’s cavalry, be will never be able to get far out of Middle Georgia, ¢ RAL WAYNE RETIRES TO DAVISBIRO. (from the Augusta Register, Nov. 27.} ‘Wayne is reported as having retired to No. 10, on the Centra] road, Hardeo’s vigiant eye is looking after things in that quarter, and we bave nofears for the result. “Vid Reliable” is too well informed of Mr. Shorman’s tactics to be outwitted by him. He is one of the most vigilant and evergetic officers in tue service, and knows bow and when to operate, ‘The enemy's position is becoming developed at last, We will s000 have full knowledge of bis whereabouts, and we have not adoubt of our ability to puaish bis temerity. Whatever may be his opinion of our strength, we are conscious that eur force is pot ony able to protect Btated points, but will be able to meet bim in open combat and make bim rue the dey be toyed with the lion spirit of the Southern poopie, It is not eafe to beard a lion in his den, and Sherman will find it out to his sorrow, or wo are much mistaken, Our authorities have not been idle, Vigilance has been at work, and the ‘result will be most telling when the denovernent comes, We encourage our people to be hope- ful, and at the same time energetic, in order te bave a thorough organization as s00n as possible. ad to learn that there 1s @ disposiiion on the part of our people to remove or destroy ali provision that is likely to fati into the hands of the enemy.
